Regulation 2 Registration and continuation of registration

An application shall be made to the Health Board in a form which corresponds to that prescribed in Schedule 1.

The person registered shall, if he wishes to continue to be registered in respect of the named nursing home, apply annually in writing to the Health Board for continuation of that registration, but shall not be required to comply with paragraph (1) in so doing.

The continuation of registration shall be dependent on the Health Board’s being satisfied that the person registered has complied, or is continuing to comply, as the case may be, with the conditions of his registration specified in the certificate of registration, and with the provisions of these Regulations.

It shall be competent for the Health Board at the time of application for continuation of registration also to consider and grant an application for variation of a condition described in section 1(3D) or (3E) of the Act^f1 and specified in the existing certificate of registration.

A certificate of registration shall be valid for one year from the date of grant of the application, or the date of continuation of registration, as the case may be, unless earlier cancelled.
